On the day this photo was taken had 1899 calories (normally i would have ate 2300 on a workout day, but i did not push myself to eat more that day)
108 grams of fat, 122.5 grams of carbs, 3432.7 mg of sodium

age 21
height 5'8
weight: unsure b/c i don't own a scale but i lost weight since i last weighed myself which was 2 months ago and i was 152. I think i am probably 148-149.

Why would cutting more fat help? Or do you mean adjusting your BF percentage? I don't know if you mean cutting dietary fat. Don't do that! But perhaps what you are seeing is water-retention. Do you eat a lot of salt in your foods?

To get better six pack you just need to lower your body fat percentage. I am down to 9% body fat and my abs are very visible any time of the day. If I eat a lot of carbs then I bloat up and they are less visible, so you might want to try ketosis to cut body fat and lower your carb intake.

For a while I was nearly Ketosis. like Under 75, but I was not eating any potatoes and my leptin needed a reboot. I hit the wall and I reasoned that I could not lose more bodyfat. Now I cycle my carbs. So on Mondays and Thursdays I go more carbs while on other days i try to stay under 100.

But carbs do make me bloat. Right now I completed my first full week of Leangains as well as just starting Creatine. so maybe in time improvement would happen.

Update:
Here is me a month ago when I was on calorie restriction and eating lower carbs. Photo on 10-18-12 at 4.34.2PM.jpg According to LoseIt I at 86.9 grams of carbs that day. The day before I had 48 because rest. I had 127 grams in fat and 2496 mg of sodium. 1748 calories

I do unfortunately have a lot of sodium. Ever since I stopped cutting a couple weeks ago because I was convinced that eating 1500 calories and all that cardio was not helping. I love food I hated eating so little. I decided to do LeanGains and change my workout up. NOw i eat around 2300 calories on workout days and 1800 on rest ( 4 days of workout, 3 rest)

I have completed one week of LeanGains and Creatine, not much has changed. I have photos of myself right before. I am leaner but not THAT much in the abs.

To answer you question about salt. Well, I live on a college campus. I can't cook my own food. I eat primal in the cafeteria. I eat at the Gluten Free station or the Omelette station on most meals.

I try to not eat their bacon too much because of sodium so instead I have ham. I don't add cheese to my omelets, but i do add plenty of veggies.

At the gluten free station i get either 56 oz of gluten free chicken (two boneless pieces) which add up to 320 mg in sodium. Very Recently I switched up my protein powder for one that has much less sodium, 40 mg. But I eat Steves Original Paleo Pak jerky everyday.

When I workout I need more calories, i am hungrier. The Cafeteria is usually open for a few hours per meal and closes at 8 at night. It is not always convenient for my schedule to go down to there because it is a 10 minute walk from the dorm. Plus the meal plan they provide already limits how much food i put on my plate. I go above and pay extra often if I have extra piece of meat on my plate, but I cannot afford to go down and get a second dinner.

So Jerky is probably my killer, omellets might be as well.

this week my average sodium intake per day was 2,641.3 mg, last week was 2954 mg average.

- of course i mean cutting body fat. I have a healthy fat diet.

Sodium moderation is very difficult especially when my intake of calories is higher due to workout expenditure and following my macros. It can be a real headache to balance sodium, calories, carbs, protein, sugars...

The reason I bought jerky and eat daily is because it is tasty, nonperishable, quick easy calories and protein. The jerky is unfortunately (1000 mg)

TLDR: College makes it hard to keep sodium low. Workouts add calories I have to consume, which subsequently means more sodium. I eat jerky.
